The society and the information 12: I would be grateful for your understanding in the United States.

Now, I am going to study the relation between the information and the society about the Vietnam War.

But, forgetting our own fault about the war of our country, I hate to criticize the war of foreign country.

Firstly, I apologize about it to American readers and I ask for understanding.

現在、ベトナム戦争を題材にして、情報と社会の関係を見ようとしています。

しかし、私は自国の戦争を棚に上げて、他国の戦争をあげつらうことに、心苦しいものがあります。

始めに、米国の読者の皆さんに誤り、ご理解を願うものです。

I am not dealing with this problem in order that I may blame or dislike the U.S.

I am thankful to the U.S. that contributes to the security of the world with a self-appointed role of the police.

The good points of the U.S. are the posture to maintain the democracy firmly, including the strong mass communication, the protection of internal whistleblower, and the disclosure of the secret official document.

I think that the good points of the U.S. are insufficient in Japan.

In Japan, although there are also good points plentifully, Japan is delayed in comparison with the U.S. in respect of the above, though regrettable.

Although Japan has old history, people don’t keep the record and then they lack in the posture of reflecting on the affair later.

In respect of that, there is record than the war of Japan, and the Vietnam War that the analysis is superior to it is good as a subject matter.

Particularly, the sign that I have worried in the politics of Japan just arose.

The bud is still small.

私は米国を責めたり嫌ったりして、この問題を扱っているのではありません。

世界の警察を任じ世界の安全保障に貢献しておられる米国に感謝しています。

強固なマスコミ、内部告発の保護、機密公文書の開示など、民主主義を堅持する姿勢は、日本に不足している米国の良さだと思っています。

日本は良い所も多々あるのですが、残念ながら、上記の点で遅れています。

日本は、古い歴史を持っているのですが、記録を残して後日、その事績を反省する姿勢に欠けています。

その点、日本の戦争よりも記録があり、分析の進んでいるベトナム戦争は題材として優れています。

特に、現在、日本の政治に危惧すべき動きが生じています。

その芽はまだ小さいのですが。

So, I picked up the example of America although being haughty.

I may write the analysis and the opinion that stepped from now on.

Please forgive it.

Please fill with a reproof and an opinion anything.

Next time, we look at what was taking place in the Executive Office of the President.
